Doily Congratulations Card

Oh man! I totally blanked on yesterday's post & forgot all about it! Sorry!

So, a day late (but you know what they say, right? Better late than never & all that.), here is my Doily Congratulations Card with a splash of spring color & some chevron thrown in for good measure.

We are in the midst of baby shower & wedding shower season, right? It's an exciting time, with all kinds of preparations for new babies & new lives together. 

This pretty card is perfect for those special occasions. 

Chicken Enchilada Casserole

How was your weekend, friends?

Ours was really good... we were able to get outside & go to a huge community garage sale on Saturday as well as do some yard clean up. On Sunday we spent some time with friends after church. It was a wonderful weekend.

Spring is finally here! We've had two beautiful weekends in a row & it feels like summer outside today!

Insta-Friday #15

Welcome to my week in pictures. My opportunity to share with you some of the more behind the scenes moments of my life...

Last weekend started with some beautifully warm weather, so I gathered all the spray painting projects on my to-do list & started exersizing my trigger finger!

You'll see them all in a few days. Stay tuned!

My current Saturday morning routine includes going to swimming lessons with my little fishies. 

They're doing great!

Treat Bags for Teacher

Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week!

We absolutely appreciate the teachers in our children's lives. Don't you? Their hard work, patience, & love do not go unnoticed.

Why not brighten up the day of the teachers in your life with a gift of appreciation & package them up in a sweetly decorated paper bag?

Boy's Room Makeover (Part 1): The Art Work

The month of May holds a fun DIY project for me — to makeover my son, Parker's bedroom. 

My to-do list includes:

• Create artwork
• Paint dresser
• Paint walls/trim
• Update window treatment
• Bulletin board
• Paint chalkboard one section on wall
• Update bedding

I'm done the first thing on the list, so that's a start!

While we were on our epic summer vacation last summer, we picked up some memorabilia with Parker's room decor in mind.

We got these coasters in Cars Land at Disneyland & the Lego minifigures at Legoland (you'll see them below).

After picking up some frames from Michael's, I simply backed the openings with cardstock, then mounted these coasters on with some permanent adhesive squares.
